\hypertarget{introduction}{%
\subsection{Introduction}\label{introduction}}

This section outlines your basic research idea. You will need to
highlight in particular the following points: - Relevance - Analytical
research question - Provide a short overview of the paper's structure

\hypertarget{theoretical-part-theory-and-hypotheses}{%
\subsection{Theoretical Part: Theory and
Hypotheses}\label{theoretical-part-theory-and-hypotheses}}

I expect you to briefly sketch your theoretical argument and your
argumentative structure as well as to generate \textbf{one hypthesis}
that you will later analyze descriptively. I expect you to base your
theory on existing research. You'll therefore need to cite related
literature \citep{hultman2014beyond}.

\hypertarget{research-design}{%
\subsection{Research Design}\label{research-design}}

In this section, you will need to provide more in-depth information on
your research design. This means I require you to - discuss your sample
and time span/case selection - discuss your operationalization of your
variables

\hypertarget{results}{%
\subsection{Results}\label{results}}

This section is dedicated to testing your hypothesis with descriptive
statistics (e.g.~with data visualization). You will need to create a
plot that is adequate to test your hypothesis. This plot will then be
discussed and interpreted.

\hypertarget{conclusion}{%
\subsection{Conclusion}\label{conclusion}}

This section summarizes your results (with a critical discussion) and
answers your research question.
